Transcript: 

now um let's give a few seconds to get
these streams kicked off because I know
last time me and Lou did a live Q&A uh a
lot of you wanted to sort of see that
real time uh real feed with the
questions coming in Live on YouTube and
My Hope Lou is that we are live around
about now so first question how are you
feeling since what happened on Wednesday
as we start this live stream before the
questions got start coming through
give us a little bit of an oversight of
what happened on Wednesday and how did
it feel for
you so Wednesday uh is first of all
forgive me if I got bags under my eyes
and I look like I just got run over by a
train um I haven't had much sleep
probably in in in in quite some time so
for any any member out there in the
audience uh please forgive me um I know
I look like something that the cat
probably uh choked up on your on your
carpet in your living room so um I think
that the hearing was um was seven years
in the making I think it was it was to a
degree historic um it was a continuation
of a hearing that occurred uh about a
year ago with um with one of my
colleagues uh David grou and also uh
some other individuals who testified
Ryan Graves and of course we had Dave
fraver um all of them American Patriots
and American heroes and you know I was
very bothered after the first within 24
hours of the first hearing there was
this this this Insidious attack on Dave
grouch's uh reputation and credibility
and I found it disgusting and
reprehensible um I know what he went
through I had the honor and privilege to
work with side by side with David grou
at us space force I won't say which
particular office uh on the UAP topic
and um Dave is everything he says he is
and let me put this for any veteran out
there um there was a time our country
didn't recognize PTSD and we had
terrible suicide rates veterans were
suffering men and women in uniform
silently it was a silent killer um and
we learned that that's not a way to deal
with PTSD that we owe it to our men and
women in uniform uh to provide services
if you ask them to go fight in a war
where there's violence and death and
destruction um these people come back
and they they need a way to deal with it
and so we set up these mechanisms to
allow us to deal with it and
what do they do to my my good friend
Dave grou well they actually use the
very mechanism that we have been told to
use to deal with
PTSD and they use it against him um so
you had an internal leak of some of his
medical records from a three-letter
agency and um it was abhorent and it was
unfair and uh you know those those
individuals who did that I don't
consider them uh American Heroes at all
or Patriots I consider them them the
lowest of the low because Dave did
exactly what he was supposed to do um
and he wanted to get some assistance for
PTSD this a guy who's been you know
combat and what does he get in return
for serving his country and doing the
right thing um baseless attacks on his
credibility somehow trying to label him
as as either crazy or something like
that let me tell you for the record
David is not crazy uh he's probably one
of the most sane rational people that I
know and he's also brilliant he's highly
highly intelligent uh in fact I hate to
be in the same room with him because the
moment I walk in the the IQ points drop
about 20 points um the average IQ points
so he he's he's he's an American hero
and so this I was hoping back to your
question I'm hoping that this this
hearing is a continuation of something
that my good friends that were on the
stand last year um did and furthermore I
think it's it's a tremendous tremendous
acknowledgement to our Congress both
Democrats and Republicans that we can
come together as a nation and look it
takes a lot of Courage as a politician
to attack a a topic like this that is
fraught with stigma and all these
proverbial landmines right it's it's not
good for your political career To Go
Chasing UFOs and yet um there is
overwhelming evidence of a government
cover up and um I I think it's wrong and
I think our members of Congress realize
it's wrong folks like uh congresswoman
Luna and congresswoman mace and uh some
of the other members of Congress a like
Brett and uh you know Eric Burleson
fantastic fantastic people to have there
these are look these are these are
highly intelligent people and they're
also American Patriots and they want to
see change positive change in our
country and so I think I think us the
the the PE the people need to support
that we need to let them know once in a
while hey this is really appreciated
this is exactly what we want our elected
officials to do we want you to proce
truth and transparency to the maximum
ability possible and that is exactly
what they're doing um to some degree
actually restores my faith in this
system you know this this this huge
wonderful experiment we call Democracy
in America um has had in some cases a
checkered history and What Makes Us
great is not that we don't make mistakes
what makes us great is that when we make
mistakes we learn from those mistakes
and we don't do those mistakes again
right and um is what I think makes makes
our country so wonderful and I saw that
myself uh there sitting besides people
like Admiral G Deb and and and Mike gold
from NASA and and shellenberger um you
had a wide variety of people that were
testifying from different backgrounds uh
with different perspectives and that is
exactly what a democracy is that is the
very
definition of
democracy so um you know I don't want to
I don't want to
spent too much time I know people have
got a lot of questions but but I was
very encouraged I was also exhausted
right um you know you you are you're
testifying before the American people in
Congress under oath which by the way has
a criminal penalty if you lie so you've
got to be very very accurate but at the
same time I've got a security oath and
there were things that I know and that
I've been told that I can't I can't
repeat um oh forgive me my uh my
microphone here's decided to have a mind
of its own so give me a second here as I
try to figure out this thing well you
know what technical malfunctions are
always going to happen live so you take
your time and you get your you know what
I'm going to blame the CIA for this darn
it they did this to me no I'm kidding
someone's sabotaging you in real time
huh that's right start sabot sabotaging
my microphone so I can't have this
conversation with you um no we're good
now thank you thank you folks out there
for your patience uh I was kidding by
the way for the record obviously this is
not sabotage it's just you
know I didn't do a good job installing
it if if I can do my best now because
you have hundreds if not thousands of
questions coming through already because
trying to understand your perspective
and what it must be like testifying like
that you bring up some very good points
about the very real penalties that exist
for people that are being uh untruthful
so on that note I am watching your
questions live Lou I'll try and speak uh
slowly so you can get these questions
because there's a lot of them a couple
of quick shout outs uh Rocky woo because
you were first on here I see monkey boy
hi Robert Sharma is is in B my baits
there we've got tons Greg Gregory Le
saying hi we've got luchin from South
Africa we've got Pam Harris there are
people tuning in all around the world
salute to L from luchin there's people
from Montreal hey Jacob we see you Jeff
is saying you killed it on Wednesday uh
lots of people saying well done on the
hearing um you know just tons and tons
high from Greece and EOS we see you um
hi from the UK from Robo okay so let's
begin with a bit of a generalized
question I'm going to join a few of your
questions up here and obviously I'm
trying to do this um live you know what
before you ask a question mark let me
just say a big thank you to you as well
um you know this is we've done this now
a few times uh you've been an absolute
scholar and a gentleman um you're not
let me just for the record so everybody
knows you're not getting paid to do this
you're just doing it out of out of the
goodness of your heart um you you're r a
very successful business you don't need
to be spending time doing this and you
you're volunteering your time and your
effort and your talent to to bring this
information forward so let me just take
just a real brief moment here for all
our audience out there Mark um is
background is physics um and uh he is a
very successful businessman in
London uh it's to protect his privacy if
he wants to talk about it he certainly
can but I I I won't but really thank you
thank you Mark from the bottom of my
heart and everybody else for doing this
because it is truly truly appreciated
and we know you don't have to do it it
um and maybe sometimes you don't want to
do it but but thank you so much I
appreciate it look Lou it's an honor and
I'm sure I speak on behalf of many of
you in the comments right now because I
love to do this uh because I'm very
interested in that transparency and
honesty and lots of us are just trying
to understand the truth and we look at
you as someone who is an advocate for
that truth and on that note um here is
uh a common comment that's coming across
all of your Social channels right now
which is to say um you acknowledged
seemingly and publicly said that the US
government have a UAP retrieval program
you said that under oath how did that
feel yeah well scary as hell um look I I
I made it very clear in my testimony I
signed documentation that forbid me from
ever discussing the term crash
retrievals uh under penalty of law right
very strict law and in order to have the
conversation in my testimony um it took
me several
years um to be able to include some of
that information in the draft copy of my
book that went to doser for review
that's the only reason why I was able to
even mention and talk about Crash
retrievals because I was told I never
could and so I knew I'd have to go
through some sort of legal process if I
was going to add any value to the
conversation and so I think maybe some
people misinterpreted when I was having
the conversation I I mentioned dobster
in my book I wasn't plugging my book
that was never my intention I was trying
to explain to people the natural
question what you're asking me now well
Lou if if you said you signed a document
you can't talk about crash retrievals
and yet in your opening statement you're
talking about Crash retrievals why
aren't you going to jail well it because
since I signed that document I went
through the official doser review
process so I could talk a little bit
about it but then they reminded me and
and very sternly um that I had to stick
to that I could not talk beyond what I
was already approved to talk about
through doser and so that's that's is
kind of when I talk about having to
thread the needle and always having to
watch where that third rail is um I have
no problem walking up to the line and
really close to the line but I have to
be careful I can't cross over the line
um because then what happens is that I
get into trouble uh and then I I I I
potentially go to jail and I get
silenced and then I can't have a
conversation with people right and so
this is where it goes back to a long
time ago where I say there's a
difference between doing things right
and doing things right now um it took me
some time to do it right but I do think
I think we did it right um now we've got
a lot lot more to go
100,000% but I think this testimony was
a a good a good Milestone um and you
know keep in mind incrementally the more
ground you take um the less ground you
lose and so that's why that's why I did
what I did and what I said what I said
um I was very impressed by the
individual sitting next to me honestly I
I felt terrible when I left that that
hearing I thought I did the worst of
everybody I felt guilty I apolog I
apologize to each and every one of them
I said you know I wish I could have
contributed as much as
you um it was my honor and privilege um
to be standing and sitting in some cases
next to some of these individuals all
these individuals uh who put everything
out on the line uh were very direct very
forthcoming and again back to the
members of Congress and and ultimately
everybody who is watching it um you know
mace representative mace said she has
never been in a hearing before in
Congress where at the there was a
standing ovation think about that now
they weren't applauding me they weren't
applauding the folks next to me they
were applauding Congress they were
applauding Congress for finally taking
this head on did you hear the opening
statements of some of these folks
there's a there's a two-letter word that
I'm not going to discuss here but most
people know what it is it starts with an
i and and the other word starts with a c
um they were they were bullish about it
they didn't care this look I'm going to
say it anyways I'm a member of Congress
by golly and this is a democracy and if
I get put on some list well you know to
hell with it I'll be on a list uh that
takes man that
takes guts man that takes bravado that
takes man that thing gumption so that
was that was tremendous to see and I
think I think the American people and
maybe even the world should should
recognize that because it took a lot for
them to do that it really really did the
questions that representative Luna all
of them everybody asked was was
fantastic and bobert and everybody so um
I was very pleased with it I wish I
could have provided even more
information we ran out of time I do
think we're going to have more of these
um if I was a betting man U both maybe
in the house and the Senate but we're
it's we're only going to have more if
the people demand that they want this if
if the people say look we want
transparency this is important to us
then they'll have more hearings if
people say me whatever then we won't
it's a perfect time to jump over to uh
zenil Goden on YouTube right now as a
Brit I'm not 100% sure on how your
system works I'm going to just put a
little bit of extra onto Zen's um
question here he says or she says or
they say uh is there a timeline for a
senate hearing and I'd kind of like to
understand what how that progresses from
where we were to what what the
importance of Senate hearing would be
yeah great question great question so
you can think since you're in the UK you
can think of of our two houses of
government our Senate and Our House of
Representatives is very much as like the
House of Lords versus the House of
Commons
um it is a checks and balance within our
legislative um structure to ensure that
that all voices are heard and all voices
are represented and so you can think of
our Senate as being the house like I
said House of Lords the other one being
being House of
Representatives um that's probably the
best way to describe it one is not more
important than the other they just
represent interests a little differently
and they also have different rules on
what they can do and how they do things
so a senate um a senate hearing is no
more or no less important than a house
hearing um there's just fewer members um
but it is it is I think I think it is
indicative of the appetite that the
American people have for truth and
transparency and the will of some of our
elected official look I'm not going to
say who else I met while I was in DC
behind closed doors but I met with some
of the most senior Senators that we have
and and representatives in our
government and I got to tell you these
folks are willing to put their
political proverbial lives if you will
uh on on the line politically speaking
right they're willing to risk their
re-elections and their campaigns to
pursue this topic because now they
realize there's something to it there is
something there information is being
withheld hidden uh from from them you
know case in point if I can um the
former director of er I'm going see if I
can pull this statement up because I
think it's actually very impactful
and whilst you're pulling a few things
up Lou um couple more shoutouts we've
got Martin Reon is tuning in uh bo and
YouTube a bunch of people tuning in from
Wales in the UK uh clipped Ryan I see
you Jason Martin I see you I'm really
going to try and get to as many of these
questions as I can uh but back over to
you Lou for the
moment yeah and I'm I'm going to make
this short but look the last former
Arrow Director people ask me all the
time what about you think this this
latest report that Arrow released um
what do you think well first of all that
report was written before we had the new
leadership in it had been in draft for
quite some time um the old leadership if
you remember said publicly there's
nothing to see here it's balloons all
prosaic nothing to see here let me just
uh read here see if I can find it here
um there's a statement recent statement
we can find it here I'll pull it up in a
minute where uh the new director says of
Arrow look there's things here I know
physics I've worked on some of the most
advanced projects for the National
Security Agency and there are
observations of some of these UAP that
still defy our understanding of of
physics I'm paraphrasing here but it's
really a complete 180 position from the
former Arrow director which we know has
over time over and over again said
misleading and false things to Congress
um there was that time he said no I
wasn't part of that meeting uh on the
hill in the Senate and then of course a
picture of him exactly in that meeting
there on the hill for you know so I
think Arrow has some work to do to
regain some of their credibility I am
optimistic that that is occurring I
think we should give Arrow a chance to
succeed there are some very good people
and an organization so with that I will
get off my pedestal uh and start
answering questions but I think it's
important because people were say well
you know Arrow lying to us no I I I
think I think we got to understand that
there's been a transition in leadership
and we've got to get this new leadership
an opportunity to succeed and already
some of the the the verbal comments
being made the statements public
statements are complete 180 from the
from the from the last leadership so I'm
I'm very
optimistic I'm going to jump onto one
from Andrew McIntyre here again this is
a bit of a joining of multiple questions
I'll do my best here but Andrew
McIntyre says can Lou tell Congress the
names of the criminals to subpoena now
I'm assuming that Andrew is also
referring to
the point in Wednesday when um I think
congresswoman mace was essentially
asking look where do I where do we go
who do we go to where do we look next if
you're in our position and I know that
you were reluctant to necessarily put
names out there what's your feeling and
sentiment about that particular question
sure well I did it for the privacy of
individuals whe you whether you like
somebody or hate somebody it doesn't
matter we have to protect people's
privacy and I just you know here I just
went on a tiate a little bit about the
former AO leadership
professionally but but personally you
know he doesn't deserve harassment he
doesn't deserve threats um you know
there's we have to make a distinction
between someone's professional Persona
and their personal Persona and I think
if I were to just reveal names publicly
like that a lot of these individuals
would start facing the same level of
harassment and that's not fair we can't
we can't do that you know I know people
want their pound of Flesh so to speak
but we have to really handle this the
right way and you know the best case
scenario is that you don't have to
subpoena people they'll just come up
voluntarily under oath but in other
cases you may have to subpoena them and
if you do what you don't want to do is
get these folks harassed before they
even testify so that's one of the
reasons why I said what I said because I
don't want to I I don't want people's
privacy and and their health and their
safety to be risked especially if they
have a family it's we we we we can't
allow that to happen to anybody whether
you like him or
not and makes complete sense
um I know that 's always a big Drive is
isn't there for people like me and and
us in the comments we just want to know
we want that truth and I think you've
always been you know very measured in
your approach and doing that the right
way here's here's another good
question uh you know Ben Bor and I see
you Steve scrips um I I see you I'm
reading all of these comments as they
come through you can imagine in in my
position it is tricky when so many are
coming I'm going to try and join a few
into into one um have to aggregate them
a little bit we can get them off exactly
that you've got it but you know Salvia
aan I see you um Joe heyen here's a good
question Lou um is it the case that when
you look at these ndas these reasons for
you not to be able to disclose things if
they are inherently let's say illegal if
there are um
wrongdoings does that not disqualify the
NDA because your duty is to be a law
abiding classify things we do things all
the time uh I'm not going to go into
detail here but if you understand a
little bit about executive order 1 to
tri3 and and and title 50 programs and
covered action um you know in DOD what I
can tell you is that we have clandestine
operations and the definition of that is
basically conducting operations uh where
you you hide in some cases sponsorship
um I'm sorry you hide the activity
whereas covert actions a little
different where you're hiding in some
cases sponsorship you have PL plausible
deniability and yes there are there's
legal precedence where you know you're
not really supposed to violate US law
but you can violate international law uh
if it's in the best interest of the US
National Security and other countries do
the same thing um and so there are there
are times where it is authorized to deny
the existence of something um under
certain circumstances to protect us
National Security now I'm not going to
go into detail here you know but uh that
is something that is is known by a lot
of the folks on the intelligence
committees and maybe the Senate armed
services committee and the house you
know house committees as well but not
everybody if you haven't been in the
world of intelligence you may not
necessarily know that and so a lot of
people believe well if something is
illegal then you can't classify it not
necessarily true that's that's
fascinating because there's still tons
of questions coming through on that same
point so hopefully L answered that I am
obviously in this life and I'm not a
lawyer by the way so that's another
reason why right we're very careful most
folks that are involved in intelligence
aren't necessarily lawyers so we rely on
lawyers to interpret the law for
us yeah spot
on I am waiting most of my questions
towards the hearing uh of course because
that's what most of you are are are
asking about here but purely because of
the number of times that uh zpe
disclosure is just just machine gunning
this question on and on and on in the
chat so I've got to ask you uh and then
zp if you mind yeah tenacious so here
you go the tenacity is paid off here I
got to ask this one it's not necessarily
about the hearing on Wednesday but here
we go um Lou zpe disclosure is
asking what do you know about Zero Point
Energy and Hal
POF so Hal POF is a colleague of mine uh
he was a giant in the intelligence
Community has been part of pretty much
all the spooky stuff that CIA and our
intelligence Community has been involved
with for decades uh he is considered the
grandfather or Godfather of the cia's
psychic Espionage program known as now
as Stargate before that was Grill flame
and several iterations before that uh
and he was a principal member of both
oap and and our team at atip uh and
continues to provide Great Value he's
also a physicist world-renowned
physicist uh an incredible human being
and so having him on your team is like
having an 800lb gorilla with you when
you're in a boxing match um you know
really really truly an American treasure
Zero Point Energy is a theory and let me
see if I can capture this correctly
because I'm not the physicist that you
are mark But Zero Point Energy is the
idea that there is a steady state of
energy that exists in a complete vacuum
of space a lot of people believe that
energy uh in in in space in the deepest
darkest parts of space um there really
isn't anything if you don't have mass
moving around or anything like that
there really isn't any energy and yet uh
scientists now have come to the
conclusion that there indeed is
potentially energy out there think of a
field think of of in some cases uh the
notion that little particles of of of
matter and antimatter are are constantly
popping into
existence um in empty space and they
annihilate each other very quickly and
that is there's energy in that release
um so Zero Point Energy vacuum energy
is something that Hal has been a leading
physicist on I want to make sure I don't
mischaracterize Zero Point Energy
because I'm sure there's a lot of physic
out there that are saying well you don't
have that exactly right and I'm I'm sure
I don't but the idea is that there is
there is energy even in areas of the
universe where it shouldn't be and in
fact it's everywhere and if you have a
way to harness that um then you
potentially have an unlimited supply of
free energy in
theory and Mark py feel free to to add
to that cuz you're probably more
qualified than me you know what I I
really I really wouldn't be and your
knowledge of uh physics is is something
that is really quite incredible we've
had you know many conversations between
me and you and I've always been blown
away by um the level of your
understanding and let's say that some of
the theories that that you have are are
quite incredible um I always thought of
Zero Point Energy similar in some way to
what you know Hawking radiation might
look like if you've got the this sort of
boiling ether of space and time where
these particles are popping in and out
of existence and annihilating afterwards
if you could separate them somehow for
example like the Event Horizon of off a
black hole you would kind of be able to
re remove uh kind of absorb or input
energy essentially I guess from either
another dimension or the universe itself
somehow so yeah I I can't claim to have
any further Insight on that but it's
definitely a fascinating yeah you're
referring you're referring to the
entangled particles that may exist right
at the Event Horizon where one is is
just a little closer and falls into the
Event Horizon where the other gets
ejected out through the gamma radiation
the uh based upon what they they refer
to as the quazar so you have this
incredible hot ring of of matter and gas
orbiting around this this event horizon
right before it gets sucked in it gets
super super hot and so energetic that a
a beam of cosmic radiation is blasted
out of the center of the poles each side
of the pole of the of the black hole and
so the idea is that sometimes when you
have entangled particles one dips one
gets sucked in while the other one gets
ejected out um and that's that's super
really interesting concept as well too
but certainly I'm not I'm not qualified
to really talk much about it I guess
when it comes to these things it's all
about ideas isn't it and exploring the
mass behind it but it's a it's a
fascinating thing we could talk for days
around this next question is from Mystic
and by the way quick shout out on the
other stream we've got multiple streams
that are going out live ac across a
couple of channels here so jvw we see
you William Ramsey we see you um wzy 450
so we we see I'm seeing everyone I'm and
try and get through these questions as
we go here's a great question for Mystic
uh how long did you work with David grou
and how was your work connected um I
guess this is also tipping the hat to
the fact that you've both now testified
uh tell us about your history with them
yeah so uh I worked with David grou when
he was uh he had a lot of jobs um he was
at times in military uniform uh as an
Air Force mil as a Air Force
intelligence officer and then other
times he would uh our interactions was
him as a civilian a senior civilian with
a 3let agency I'm not sure if I'm
allowed to say what agency but he can
tell you uh and um because of his level
of expertise I I will tell you he had a
he'll probably get very mad at me for
sharing this but just to kind of
emphasize how smart this guy is
um we we gave him the name Big Data
because he had this incredible ability
to Crunch massive amounts of data in his
head and very quickly synthesize it and
process it and come out with a result um
he is also a physicist um and a very
very smart physicist and he's also a
very smart intelligence officer and uh
his insights were were very helpful um
my relationship with him was worked in a
skiff a very actually is as a sapf
facility um for saps uh where we manage
um certain aspects of the UAP effort for
uh for us space force at the time uh
where we had access to a lot of the
videos and hyperspectral data and you
know Telemetry data and really at that
point it becomes very compelling you
know seeing is really believing you have
something there in front of you that's
taken by a very sensitive military
collection platform that we don't NE
necessarily want to admit we even have
or that we can put it you know over this
place or that place and so a lot of that
stuff remains protected it's not
necessarily the video itself that is
super highly classified it's how that
video was taken where was it taken how
what time was it taken so um that stuff
remains very very sensitive and
understandably so um so my involvement
with Dave grou was in that capacity uh
we were colleagues uh we worked very
close with each other uh on a daily
basis uh we talk to each other we worked
for some very very senior people uh we
provide advice uh and assistance I know
that David was actually part of the UAP
task force he was that agency's
representative to the UAP Task Force at
the time uh and we interacted with the
UAP task force routinely I don't if I
ever actually talked about that but um
we interacted with the UAP task force
and his Personnel routin League well
there we go we're getting the exclusives
here this is the whole point of doing
these lives and um for those of you
because I'm tired my guard is down no
it's great we got we got I mean I'm
looking at the concurrent viewers and
and the views here it's just going
through the thousands so you got a hell
of a lot of people wanting to check in
on you L it's it's really cool to see
next question I'm going to jump on to is
Roland Gibbs uh Roland is asking pretty
straightforward question here he
says considering the need for secrecy
why do you think you have been approved
to reveal anything at
all well because I've been making an
issue of it because I understand policy
and procedures I understand Counter
Intelligence special agent and I
understand the security processes and
procedures for National Security
information so if you want the truth to
come out there's a right way to do it
and so understanding those procedures is
important I don't not not necessarily
that I've been allowed to I've just been
insistent uh and at the end of the day
there has to be a legal reason for them
to say no and so what does that means
you can't talk about X YZ well why well
because there a security classification
guidance that says you can't okay well
then tell me what I can can uh and then
you know the other more philosophical
approach to this is when someone says
when I ask well can I talk about this
and they say well I don't have the
authority to tell you yes well then in
my mind you also don't have the
authority to tell me no either if you
don't have the authority you don't have
the authority so who who does I'll go to
that person um so a little bit of being
you know tenacious um not stopping
figuring out a way to have a
conversation if they say well you can't
do it this way okay then fine then tell
me how I can do it right don't don't do
just say no because that's not going to
work because then at that
point you're talking about OB
obfuscation and and I'm not going to I'm
not going to allow that if there's real
truly national security reasons to keep
things in the dark I support that 100%
um but if you're just doing it to cover
your ass then we're going to have a
problem it goes beautifully on to the
next question and before I ask this next
question something that I have found
really interesting knowing you for a
little while
is even in our personal conversations
there's only ever been so much you can
talk about and that has changed so much
in in just the time I've known you our
first conversations were kind of very
limited and as time has gone on as
you've as you've done uh as you've
walked this process carefully it's
amazing how much we can talk about now
compared to where where where we were
before uh and God knows what happens in
the years to come so now on to Robert
Sharma Robert Sharma says I have a very
spongy question but Robert I actually
think this is a pretty good question it
is a little spongy but here we go out of
all of the scenarios how do you think
the dod or the US government would
ideally continue after yet another
amazing public hearing so he kind of
makes the point if these hearings keep
continuing and more and more people come
forward is there a point where the
government just has to turn around and
confirm that all of this is true well I
think you're seeing that right now in
the executive branch um I'm not going to
name names but there's a lot of people
right now that are about to fill cabinet
positions that are very aware of this
topic and they they want the truth too
so you know before it was just kind of
the EXE the legislative branch putting
pressure on the executive branch but now
you've got support inside our executive
branch too that is in line and
consistent with the the the wants and
the desires and the views of those in
the legislative branch so we're reaching
a critical mass here um you know now you
have both sides kind of looking at each
other nodding their head and say you
know what we got to we got to figure
this out so I I think we're getting
closer and closer and closer if you look
at let's say a football game the ball is
being moved closer and closer to the
goal every day every day uh and in large
part that's because of the audience
right here look people in this audience
right now are demanding transparency
from our government both on the
executive branch and the legislative
branch that is that is historic and
they're
responding um so I actually extremely
optimistic now what is that Tipping
Point where there's more of us and less
of them meaning more of us who want
disclosure and less of them who don't um
we we may already be there I I can't say
for sure but from where we were seven
years ago um there is we've got one hell
of a a proverbial Army now um demanding
the truth where before it was just a
couple voices and you know people that
were being marginalized for being kooky
and crazy there was a time
where you know from a from a national
security perspective uh you'd have to
been crazy to consider this um topic
legitimate and now we're at the point
where you got to be consider you'd be
considered crazy not to because the
evidence is
overwhelming here's a fantastic question
again an amalgamation of lots a couple
more shout outs we've got uh we got
cheat cat we've got Scott Hanley emm um
Gerald I see you David Mills uh here's a
good question
you recently said that you've probably
spoken about 5% of what you know in your
mind what needs to happen for you to be
able to talk about what you know in full
well hopefully if for successful I never
have to and and the government does it
for me um it shouldn't be me I should
not be carrying the water I should not
be the single point of failure for for
disclosure that's a problem as much as
people may like me and you know I kind
of hope I'm doing a good job for
everybody the reality is I'm not the guy
that car this to the Finish Line um
there's more people out there that are
certainly more qualified than I am to do
that and so my hope is that we get to a
point where the government um will pick
up this momentum for themselves and and
provide that information to the American
people uh I'm working every day to
provide more and get approval to to
provide more information but at the end
of the day um I could get hit by a bus
tomorrow I could and that can't stop
that can't stop what we're doing here
and this right now is the biggest I I
think the biggest critical issue we're
dealing with that that we can't just
rely on a couple people out there to
tell the
truth that that is that is why we are in
this situation in the first place you
had people like Jay Allen hinck back in
the day telling the truth and he got
marginalized and you I tried to tell the
truth and they tried to marginalize me
and Dave grou but but this has to be
more than that more than just people
like Chris melon and myself and the
pilots um this has to be government
officials and we have to figure out a
way how do we do that without
compromising any potential potential let
me emphasize insights we may or may not
have gleaned from this technology
because I'm okay acknowledging the fact
that we're not alone and we have a lot
of opportunity here but I'm not okay
revealing if there's been any type of
insight to certain Technologies and you
know maybe we're using them for national
security reasons to protect ourselves
because we don't want our adversaries
having that type of Technology can you
imagine some Road Nation having the
capability to to to do something that
frankly we can't that's that's frankly
that's terrifying so um you know it's a
balance it's it's not an All or Nothing
um I don't think I think there's we have
to continue doing what we're doing we're
we've made tremendous progress together
all of us together in this conversation
we've got more distance to go in this
Marathon but we've also come a hell of a
long way folks I mean just look how far
we've come absolutely absolutely the
next question I'd like to throw your way
is uh Daniel Maguire tuning in on
YouTube he says um leis do you think
that your background and your education
in immunology and
microbiology have anything to do with
your appointments to atip and
nhi I don't think so I could be wrong um
you know you'd have to ask the people
who hired me um I don't think so I think
just having a scientific background
helps us look at things from a from the
the principles of of of scientific
methodology um I do I am a disciple of
science I've always said that um I'm not
necessarily into mysticism and you know
people call me it's funny when you look
on Wikipedia my Wikipedia page by the
way for for the record was was made by
people who are um they're Skeptics and
they've admitted it and so they put all
sorts of crap in there that's not true
at one point they think maybe even still
now they call me a conspiracy theorist
actually on the contrary I'm the exact
opposite of a conspiracy theorist um I
don't believe in conspiracies I believe
in facts I believe in data I believe in
science and in fact a lot of people
there that have taken control of my
Wikipedia page aren't scientists at all
um they're just Skeptics and you know
they're kind of professional Skeptics um
that being said I do think that my
scientific background has helped me look
at data objectively uh look at the
empirical evidence uh also my background
as a special agent um typically in in
the world of Counter Intelligence we
look at counterterrorism and counter
Espionage cap capital crimes National
Security crimes and you have to be
objective and you have to go where the
evidence takes you it has to be
evidence-based it can't just be the way
I feel it can't be Whimsical it can't be
based upon opinions or Notions or
narratives or whatever and innuendos it
has to be based on solid facts and that
is the way I pursued my efforts in ATP
and my colleagues did the same
thing I have a fantastic question this
is really good uh CH I like long walks
on the beach I'm
a were you going to ask me this one's
this one's from uh cheah cat and they
ask is there information that the US
hides that is public knowledge in other
countries if so would you kind of hint
hint wink wink nudge nudge want to tell
us where we could look um and if there
were yeah I don't need to wink wink
nudge nudge go to South America right
now and go to some of these countries
big countries their presidents have
already come out and said we know UAP
are real we investigate them all the
time you know congratulations America
for finally catching up to the
conversation um no it's overt there's
actually there's actually an interview
they had with one of the ex-presidents
of uh a large Latin American country uh
several years ago where he's he's kind
of baffled he's like I don't even
understand how this is even a question
we we we all know it's real we've been
studying it we've been looking at it
we've got the evidence why are you still
denying it America um so great question
but I don't need to wink wink nudge
nudge it's it's it's out there all sorts
of information like that there's lots of
other countries that that are look the
reason why look at look just look at the
evidence there's a reason why Japan a
couple years ago requested to enter
specifically into a bilateral
intelligence information sharing
agreement with the United States for the
sole purposes of sharing UAP information
why would they do that unless they're
having their own issues with it they are
well there we go we've heard it no no
Winks or nudges needed let's let's go
and have a look at South America here is
another great question this was
predominantly um Paul gun uh who's just
slamming this in the comments as well so
this is mainly out to Paul gun but um
also out to kind of a few others who
were asking about Trump's recent victory
in the white house um he could be
someone that might push for disclosure
and transparency what do you think the
recent election
result uh will do and how will it affect
your journey for disclosure do you think
so politics aside um I have never ever
ever revealed my political affiliation
uh and I think it's important because my
political affiliation doesn't mean
anything to anybody um it's a personal
choice um and this is true on both the
Democrat and the Republican side and
even in the independent side and the
libertarian side and
constitutionalists um what makes this
topic so great it is it is bipartisan in
fact in some cases it's even nonpartisan
meaning uh you have Democrats
Republicans and everybody in between um
wanting truth and transparency and
accountability so anytime you have a new
Administration um there's always
opportunities for for more Revelations
and we've seen with this this President
formerly and and now he's made several
gestures where he wants to open up the
JFK files for example which I think is a
wonderful idea uh he wants to open up
the UFO files for the American people I
I think that's a great idea um you know
he he's made those gestures very openly
and publicly and if you look at some of
the people on his cabinet whether you
like them or dislike them or think
they're crazy or that they're competent
doesn't matter it just if you look at
who they are several of them have also
postured very publicly their desire to
give the American people the truth so um
you know and that's not just a
republican thing there's lots of folks
on the Democrat side that feel the same
way um so I I hate to make this a
political discussion I remain cautiously
optimistic as I did with the last
Administration and the administration
before that the administration before
that I think all of them deserve a fair
Shake just like Arrow deserves a fair
shake this this the new iteration of
Arrow um maybe under the last
leadership there were some mistakes that
were done uh again professionally I
don't want to attack anybody personally
in their professional capacity um but I
think we're seeing a signaling of of by
people in in this new Administration and
arrow included that
maybe people are going to be a little
more forthcoming this time um and I
think that's great you know I I think
it's I think it's I think it's
fantastic likewise I think everyone in
the comments section definitely seems to
agree with that so that's there's so
many asking about uh Trump and about um
about that so hopefully that settled a
bunch of questions there jumping over
to uh William Ramsey going to give you a
shout out um because William Ramsey has
a pretty good question which is to say
yeah do you think that these uh uaps ETS
however you want to call them do do you
get the sense that they are directing or
slowing down disclosure do you think
that this seems to be accelerating a
little bit at the moment or is this has
this just always been happening it's
just we're recording it and
communicating it better now yeah so
that's a great question a lot of times
I've been asked is the frequency
increasing are the things becoming more
obvious or is it just we have better
collection capabilities now and more
people with these little things you know
um cell phones collecting information
and the answer may be both uh we don't
have enough data yet to to definitively
say one way or the other there's an
increased frequency um obviously the
more Arrow looks into this the more
unidentified objects they keep recording
uh but does it mean that there's really
more objects no it could also mean that
there's we're more sensitive maybe more
people are reporting it maybe more
people feel safe to report it more
commercial airline pilots and Military
Pilots are coming forward um it's too
early to tell um now is there any type
of attempt by whatever these are to
influence our own internal disclosure
process if that's the question I don't
know I haven't seen any evidence to
suggest that they're influencing it is
influencing the UAP phenomena is
influencing our ability to have a
conversation with ourselves I think the
challenge is with ourselves not not UAP
I think it's a topic that has been so
fraught with so much stigma and taboo
for so long that it's now very hard to
have that conversation amongst ourselves
I give you perfect example when I was in
the Army a long time ago I'm an old guy
this is gray not blonde so I'm an old
guy I often joke that Moses and myself
were in basic training together um there
was a time and as silly as it seems you
wen't allowed to be gay and be in the
military I I I know I know I get it it
sounds
ridiculous why should I have why should
someone's sexual orientation have
anything to do with your patriotism
right and your loyalty to your country
it doesn't and yet there was a time that
if you were gay and the Army and people
knew it you'd be kicked out you'd be
kicked out you'd lose your job or
potentially even lose your security
clearance um now we've come complete 180
which is thank God it's about time where
no one cares if you're gay in the
military right who cares has nothing to
do with with anything um but there was a
long time where it was hard to have that
conversation within the military complex
whether you're in the army or the Marine
Corps uh it was very tough and I and I
saw a lot of good people lose their jobs
simply because of who they were um and
that was a hard conversation to have
internally because if you looked at
appeared as being sympathetic to them
then you know they would look at you and
you could lose your job um so it took
time and and I think you know this topic
to some degree again from a stigma and
taboo perspective it's not really the
same from other perspectives but stigma
and taboo it took a long time to to have
that conversation with ourselves and be
able to to have a truthful conversation
and explain to people that it's okay to
have the conversation we we we no one
cares we can have the conversation about
UAP or or gaze in the military or
anything else um because at the end of
the day the truth is a truth and it
doesn't really affect your patriotism or
your service to your country or in this
case even National Security in my
opinion anyways I think you're spot on
in the sense of pushing for
communication pushing for conversation
and transparency is really the only way
forward in all of those difficult
situations right take your issue dour it
doesn't have to be you know choose it
absolutely it we have to have the
conversation we got to be open and
honest with ourselves if we're going to
evolve you know beyond the trites that
we often you know we often are yeah well
it you know it brings to mind like you
say when when previous mistakes are made
infrastructurally within government
it doesn't mean that you have to throw
out the government sometimes you just
got to repair the Broken Wheel you've
got to fix that thing that was not quite
right and and move on and it it does
move and here's the here's the challenge
with that Mark because you're right we
are we you know we've it's like take it
you know I'm an auto mechanic guy right
so I love I'm a Gearhead uh imagine you
have a broken water pump on a car um and
most of the time you can take your car
and take it to a repair shop and they'll
fix it for you now if you have a broken
water pump you don't throw the whole car
out you just replace a water pump right
the problem is though that we're having
to replace a water pump while we're
driving 80 mph down the highway we can't
stop the car so it's a little more
complicated um but that's kind of the
analogy I like to use don't throw the
car away don't leave it abandoned just
replace what needs to be replaced fix
what needs fixing um we just don't have
the luxury of being able to stop the
vehicle to fix it we just got we got to
figure out how to fix it while we're
driving well as we're as we're hanging
out that window with the spanner trying
to fix our water pump at 80 mph on the
highway here's a question from Paul
Rogers and um Paul Rogers on YouTube
says in a recent interview you were
asked if you knew something about um an
event happening in the near future now
you said yes but you said it wasn't your
story to tell so I think he wants to
explore this a little bit more did you
find out during Pentagon work or
after uh I know it was I was working
with the US government I I was told
certain things um but um you know you
you have to have evidence remember
empirical data has to drive
decision-making it can't just be whims
and ideas and thoughts and speculation
can I push you on the certain things
when you said I was told certain things
can I push you on that what was
that
um uh I'm going to take a pass on that
right now um because I the problem is
that people people have a tendency to
hang on every word I say and if I'm not
sure of something I don't want to say it
I think it's Reckless to do that I think
it's it's irresponsible because um you
know we're we're just now having the
conversation and uh I I don't have all
the facts and so for me to spew my my my
opinion on
something um can actually cause more
harm than good I I don't think it's
going to be I don't think it's
constructive
um I know people are curious but at the
end of the day curiosity I mean doesn't
necessarily mean anything or my opinion
on something isn't really that important
what's important is what does a data
suggest what do the facts say right um
and so I'm going to do a polite pass on
that I'm not trying to be evasive way I
just I don't I don't want to I don't
want to do
something that potentially is not
accurate puts us on the wrong path look
people look on my my social media I'm
the one of the very first things I say
is I will always tell you the truth and
I'll always accept accountability when
I'm wrong I will absolutely do it I do
it over and over again look I'm not
perfect I make mistakes all the time and
a little bit of Humble Pie is great for
everybody and believe me I'm a
connoisseur of Humble Pie I can tell you
all ways to make Humble Pie because I
eat it
routinely um the the goal in life is not
to never make mistakes the goal in life
is when you make mistakes to learn from
those mistakes right so those mistakes
aren't repeated again and so what I
don't want to do is say something that
I'm not 100% confident of and then
people run with that information that
would be that would be negligent of me
to do that so I'm going to hold my
opinion for now on that makes sense it
makes sense okay here's uh another
attempt to like coess a bunch of
questions some of the some of the
usernames you lot have on YouTube are so
ridiculous I can't say them out loud but
um let's just assume that some of these
questions have been augmented a bit um
you've just come away way from
testifying in Congress it's a it's a big
moment there's many people uh on this
team advocating for disclosure now it's
getting way past the point of
um dismissal so here's a question and
it's sort of a little bit of a hint win
wik nudge nudge question but it's from
aquara who says does there happen to be
a work of fiction or a film or a book
that you feel resonates with topics that
you like slash can't
disclose you know um I have always told
people um a friend of mine Doug Johnson
um several years ago gave a copy of a
book to Chris melon and myself called
chains of the sea and I can say it now
because he gives he's given me
permission to to mention his name as
being the guy who gave us a book and uh
I don't read I don't typically read
fiction um just it's just not my thing
Frank I don't have time for it uh and so
he said look I want you to pay attention
to this this second story in this series
of novellas of three stories just read
it and out of courtesy for him because
he was kind enough to give me a copy I
did and it is a really again it's a
fiction but it forces you to consider
the
phenomenon from a completely different
perspective it takes humans out of the
driver's seat it take in fact it makes
humans completely almost irrelevant
relevant in the
calculus and it really helped me look at
things from a different perspective not
that it's the right perspective okay so
let me let me just emphasize that it's
fiction but it helped me it was a good
exercise in allowing me to look at
things in a way and say okay maybe we
don't have a complete picture of nature
of our universe and our place in the
universe um I thought it was I thought
it was very I thought it was very well
done it's only it's maybe 40 50 pages
long the little maybe even less it's
really small but it was done very clever
it was done in a very clever way very
cleverly um and so I would encourage
anybody if you wanted to read something
interesting maybe an hour read and just
kind of consider this topic from a
different perspective that's a good good
place to start um again don't read it as
like Lou is saying this is true that's
not what I'm
saying it's a way to look at a topic
that you're used to looking at in a
certain way and and having coming away
with a completely different perspective
or View and that's what I appreciate
about it it's it's what we call the
intelligence Community Alternative
analysis um it's a it's a competing
Viewpoint and and and I like
that it's called chains of the Sea by
the way there's a couple of people
already making comments saying um you
know I've got Ace cor saying chains of
the sea is a scary book I've got gr
saying change the SE is very good good
luck finding it though apparently it's
tough book to find but um you you know
as you know I made the mistake by by
talking about it and then all of a
sudden the book that was like seven
bucks became like $800 instantly over
you know on eBay so I apologize for
anybody out there I think there are some
free I don't know maybe not I think
there's some free versions that you can
download I'm not encouraging anybody to
Pirate anything but I do think there may
be some I I did see a PDF out there on
it um and it's the uh it's the the
second of the three novellas in that
series called chains of the sea and I
apologize if now the book is unten you
can't reach it you know that wasn't my
intent I have no Financial stake in the
book um I did find it just very
interesting so um I'm sorry it's hard to
find you know what maybe they'll
republish the darn thing now quite
possibly I imagine uh with with you
talking about it it's very very likely I
I'm realizing that we're coming up to
our hour and there are so many questions
um I just have to say to everyone this
is why we have to keep doing Mark we'
got to do it till we answer every one of
them absolutely and I I promise you for
everyone tuning in right now who is not
getting a question asked just do me a
quick favor as we come up to this hour
go to Lou's website Lou elisondo sorry
Louis elisondo official.com and please
make sure you subscribe to that mailing
list we're going to be taking questions
through that mailing list when it comes
to Live Events speaking engagements uh
when it comes to doing things like this
speak speaking to you through live
streams it's a really really good place
to get notifications on it and I've I've
got I'm really pressed to choose the
last questions here um Mark Let's do
let's do more than one I I I know we're
coming up toor I'll I'll see if I can
speak fast my wife came in here and kind
of kicking my shin saying I'm talking
too long and I got to answer more
people's questions so let me see if I
can do a quick rapid fire here oh just
some of these questions are are not
necessarily our fire questions let me
let me just get straight to it let me
have a look at um let me have a look at
this one here right I think it was Nancy
mace wasn't it head of the committee on
Wednesday um she said something along
these lines if taxpayers money is spent
on this and it doesn't exist then where
the hell's the money going and if it
does exist why can't the taxpayer know
what's being discovered with their
dollars what do you think about that I
think she's absolutely right look I mean
she she's a tough tough individual I
mean look if you ever have a chance to
meet some of these folks in Congress
they are No Nonsense I mean they they
will hit you right between the eyes uh
and all the questions that were asked I
think were very relevant um she pulls no
punches and you know she doesn't like
what you have to say she's going to let
you know um I thought it was fantastic
um I I love when she puts us on the hot
seat because that's exactly what America
deserves that's what Congress deserves
you know it doesn't feel good being the
person there under oath being in the hot
seat but I was also so I was so happy
and so proud of my country for having
the guts to do it right so even though
it made me uncomfortable personally it
gave me this wonderful sense of
patriotism and pride saying man this is
exactly what you need to do don't let up
you know keep asking us the hard
questions um I think she's absolutely
correct I I think she's she's a th%
correct we have to have accountability
and to have accountability you have to
have transparency full stop absolutely
here's one from from someone who goes
under the name Cosmic
files who says have you seen any
photographs or footage up close showing
occupants of a
UAP I have seen photographs that seem to
portray something
inside um I am not going to go too far
beyond that because again we need you
need better Fidelity of information
if I look at something there's a
phenomenon that is with the human being
that we happen to see faces a lot um it
is because as children and babies the
very first thing we do is we are as a
species we are trained to recognize the
features of our mother and understand
what safe is and we are always
recognizing fa how we know each other I
know you Mark and you know me because my
face the way I look uh and it's kind of
a Nate part of being human and that's
why people a lot of times when they look
at Clouds they see faces and figures
because it's something that is the brain
is automatically overlaying to recognize
even though there's not really a face up
there you look at a popcorn ceiling and
you can see faces and so um we have to
be careful with that because
understanding that we are predisposed to
to see things that we
recognize we have to avoid the
Temptation then of saying definitively
yes that is what I saw it may look like
it but it could also potential to be
something else you know it's like those
pictures that you see a lot of times the
black and white pictures it's just ink
and people what do you see well I I see
you know two faces together what do you
see well I see a chalice um it depends
who you ask what you see and so I'm very
careful of that because I know
biologically as as as
biological animals um it's part of our
wiring to do that and so we have to kind
of kind of force ourselves to to to to
try not to be that way at first even
though that's the very first thing we
recognize we have to try to avoid that
temptation as much as
possible the the way that I'll round
this up is a couple more shout outs just
get some names um you know artificially
amusing we see you Ross Clark uh Andre
salesman um to pabra there's so many
Gerald desara I'm sure I'm not
pronouncing these right but just so many
people tuning in now here's one
from someone who goes under the name Our
Lady of beasts it's not even a question
it's it's just something that she's
begging me to tell you and it is she's a
great lady by the way she's done a lot
for this effort I'm not going to I'm not
going to say who she is but she's done
tremendous uh work behind the scenes
well what what a beautiful place to
close because I wasn't aware that you
would know the person on this handle but
um they say please tell Lou to rest up
and take care of himself um isn't that
obvious you
you've been doing this uh I'm sorry I
know I know it's it's it's terrible look
I I don't have any foundation on I I
forgot my lipstick it's it's uh I feel
like I've been run over by a freight
train uh I I am sorry um unfortunately
what you see is what you get uh I uh you
know let's just say it's was a bad hair
day for me uh I just got off of a plane
you know few hours ago triy to grab a
little bit of sleep um and and here I am
again uh you're right I need I need
Beauty Rest In fact I need a lot of a
lot of Beauty Rest um and I'm sorry it's
so painfully evident but uh hopefully in
the next month uh during the holiday
season I'll get a chance to um rest up a
little bit and um you know maybe maybe
look a little more fresh um well you
know I'm I'm certain from her
perspective she wasn't passing judgment
on your looks but what no I know she
wasn't no no no you got you got to make
fun of you got to make fun of things
right no no she she's a she's a great
person
what she probably meant was to say you
know you have been running a th000 miles
an hour recently in the last couple of
months with everything from testifying
in Congress to the books all the all the
things you've been working on the Press
tours the interviews you know you're
hopefully you are going to be able to
take a rest in December and I would like
to close by asking you Lou if you get
this time to breathe to rest a little
bit I know you have your last speaking
engagements you I know you have a few
tour dates uh that you have to finish
but what does 2020
look like for you in an Ideal
World wow well a lot of people who know
me know I'm a bit like a shark that if I
stop swimming I'll die um I've got to
keep pressing forward until I don't have
to anymore um I think 2025 um is full of
of opportunity um just like 2024 was um
I think I think you know people have
learned anything by now when I say the
following year is going to be more
revelatory I think that's true every
year has been more revelatory more
legislation more hearings more truth is
coming forward more people now are in
the fight and more support both in the
executive branch and the legislative
branch um you know and this is whether
you hate me or love me because I got as
you know I got my fair share of haters
and and I'm I'm I'm sure you have to
deal with that quite a bit as well uh
but at the end of the day we're all this
together and whether you hate me or love
me I mean can we agree that at least we
want the truth together you know
afterwards if you want to throw tomatoes
at me fine you know and continue to hate
but but can we at least kind of agree
that truth ultimately is the most
important thing and and we can maybe
maybe agree on that and work together in
that direction um I would certainly hope
so um but you know that's that's not
just my decision it has someone else
other people have to be part of that
decision as well and and agree to that
that's what we want to do together I
personally believe All Ships rise with a
tide um but you know maybe I'm just
optimistic I tend to be an an optimist
I've got a funny feeling your optimism
is going to pay off it's got you very
far and like you say when we started
this chat the tenacity of it to keep
pushing forward is the only thing we can
do Lou um I know from your behalf uh I'm
I'm going to put some words in your
mouth here but I I think that we want to
say a huge thank you for everyone tuning
in on the live there are so many people
we couldn't possibly shout them out um
Mark let me address something very
important I hate to interrupt you but
this is important I know people need to
jump off look
we're talking about social media we're
talking about trying to work together we
all have a responsibility to work
together um I just want to say that
nobody speaks on be my behalf when it
comes to social media um it's me um I do
not like I do not tolerate abuse um I
don't like it um and if and when people
speak on my behalf and the tone of that
is not professional um I will deal with
it and uh I just want want to make sure
people know I'm not deaf to things um
there's a right way and a wrong way to
handle things um I try to handle things
right and I'm going to continue doing
that and um you know if if people either
the haters or even the people that
support me if they're doing something
that's wrong I want to make sure that
people know that I don't condone it um
and I will address it um I may not
handle it the way that people like me to
handle it but I'll handle it and I'll
handle it privately and and it will be
effective so I just wanted to put that
out there because
social media should be a tool used to
bring people together and not divide
people and sometimes people's emotions
um get the best of them and and it's
used to to divide and it's not helpful
so I just wanted to put that out there
real quick love that and it's a
fantastic message to end on Lou thanks
as always for taking the time to do this
and to everyone tuning in we will see
you on the next one keep a lookout get
on that website get on the socials and
we'll see when we see you next thank you
folks appreciate it take care
everybody all right so give us a few
seconds um Lou whil you're with me what
I'm going to do is I'm just going
to so we are was that okay yeah we are
now uh offline all I'm going to do is
just a triple check
